The 10 Commandments of Human Relations

The fundamental issue in human ethical behavior is sum-marized by Jesus in what we have come to call The Golden Rule. It asks us to test our treatment of others by putting ourselves in their place. Treat others the way you would want them to treat you in the same or similar circumstance.

Somebody took that principle and translated it into Ten Commandments of Human Relations. You may have seen this anonymous piece on an email, or some other form of media, because it has circulated in a variety of settings. In case you have missed it, I am reproducing it here.

1. Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful

word of greeting.

2. Smile at people. It takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14

to smile.

3. Call people by name. It is music to anyone’s ears to

hear the sound of his or her name.

4. Be friendly and helpful.

5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do is

genuinely a pleasure. If it isn’t, learn to make it so.

6. Be genuinely interested in people. You can like almost

anyone, if you try.

7. Be generous with praise, cautious with criticism.

8. Be considerate of the feelings of others. There are usu-

ally three sides to a controversy – yours, the other fellow’s, and the correct one.

9. Be alert to serve. What counts most in life is what you

do for others.

Live with a good sense of humor, a generous dose of pa-tience, and a dash of humility appropriate to being human.

The great challenge in human experience is not work skills but people skills. That is, research has shown that the ma-jority of people who fail in their vocation do so because they cannot get along with people.

You might think through the meaning of these ten common-sense ideas for your own workplace and personal activity. But what about the larger setting for your daily life? These principles work everywhere you go, for they are about showing respect to the people you meet in all those places.

Made in God’s image, all of us have something to be val-ued, affirmed, and acknowledged by others. But let it begin with us to acknowledge it in them. As the cycle of giving and receiving enlarges, the human community comes alive.

It’s August….You Know What That Means

Hudson Taylor: "Unless there is an ele-ment of risk in our exploits for God, there is no need for faith."

Two words that catch my attention: exploits and risk.

There’s something we all possess that keeps us from taking the risk of faith?

Fear I. Fear of Failure (Numbers 13:26-33) II. Fear of Criticism (Joshua 1:1-9) III. Fear of Success (Matthew 25:14-30)
